Handy to restaurants, town
A downstairs unit Too difficult up stairs with bags
Room was a terrific size and lovely little private courtyard, just a pity we were only in for a short time due to road closures. Loved the coloured face cloths to remove face makeup fabulous idea.
Nothing comes to mind. Perhaps power point near bed for charging electronics. Note the power points beside the bed were already occupied with the lamps.
Very close to everything but still very quiet. Thoroughly enjoyed the two nights.
Very quiet at night no traffic noise.
Great location, quiet and walking distance from everything. Very comfortable
Location , nearby to everything Spacious family room with seperate bedroom Well equiped kitchen, comfy bedding & quality linen Good heating Parking close to unit Friendly staff Laundry available on site, coin operated
Nothing
Very convenient location. Dropped off and picked up by the Intercity bus when travelling from Greymouth to Queenstown. Excellent value for money. Lily the manager was winderful. Would definetly stay here again
intercity bus司機送到住宿門口,工作人員親切介紹周邊環境,還送給孩子們牛奶喝。這裡CP值高,床好睡,暖氣夠溫暖。廚房有爐子可煮食,甚至有電鍋可煮飯,我的孩子們很開心。有洗衣機、烘衣機可使用,要投幣,可到超市去換幣。離超市、餐廳都很近。我住了3個晚上,下次再來一定會來住。

Close to centre of town so can walk to all restaurants etc. very clean room with a lovely warm gas heater which was on for our arrival. Was very welcoming.
Bed was a tad hard
Everything! Fab throughout. Such lovely accommodation and staff. Receptionist went above and beyond her duty, even lending us her personal mobile phone charger when there was a long power cut in the whole area

Comfirtable unit, friendly helpful host and good location.

The fire, the bathroom & a lovely large room
Nothing
This accomodation exceeded our expectations. Amazing large room with a lovely bush view. Mini kitchenette with all the basics was ideal for us. The bed was large and so comfortable that I didn’t want to get up in the morning. Lovely staff also who serviced our room during our stay.

Nice big place, opening window, good kitchen and bathroom. Good location
Good location nice and clean
We were given the accessible room would have preferred a normal room with a normal shower etc Also the wifi nearly worked even the tv would lose signal
Location, cleanliness and tidy
They had forgotten to leave bath towels in the room so had to wait until reception was open next morning at 8:30 for the towels
Very clean, good sized rooms, great location and quiet area.
Excellent location, really friendly and helpful staff. The rooms are large and clean, but a bit dated.
The walls are like paper. You can hear people talking in adjoining rooms. Thankfully my neighbours on either side generally called it quits before midnight. If you’re in a ground floor room, you can hear people thundering up and down the stairs outside.
Great location, comfortable room
None
Friendly staff Great location Spacious room
Great location. Ample parking. Big and spacious room.
The bed was too soft and noisy.
位置便利,房间很大
Location was great. Staff friendly and informative. Beautiful rooms and view.
Clean, comfortable and roomy in a central location.
A little dated but made up for by cleanliness and roominess.
The setting is gorgeous, as is the bay window. So pretty. The motel was in a good location and was comfortable. It had everything that we required. On the whole this was a very nice motel.
There were just a few very little things and they were only minor but they do add up, to name a few, the toilet seems to run/refill all the time, the fridge was very loud, the ice box cover was missing, the dining table chairs are a bit unstable, the laundry locked earlier than advertised with our washing in there etc. All very minor details but they did add up. I had enquired earlier checking which room we were getting and i was reassured that it is was not a loft room however we did end up with a loft room. We could have said something at the time but we choose not to as the person i was travelling with took the loft so it turned out not to be a non issue. The only other thing that i would note is that we had two extended power cuts due to an orange weather warning on the west coast. These things happen and cant be helped however it just might have been nice to have a little bit more support. We were told there was a power cut and a couple of places that we could go to for dinner due to having generators which was super helpful, but there was no offers of torches or anything extra to help. On the morning after the two power cuts, one of which was a 6 hour long power cut, i did raise my concerns about the possibility of another occurring the following night as I require electricity for a personal medical device and had an awful night due to this previously. Unfortunately no advice or help was offered in case of further power cuts. I was informed by another local business about a motel that we could go to that had a generator should another power cut occur.
The open fire and it was close to the Main Street
Power went off due to the weather and there was no back up generator which means we where in the dark with no torches for hours
Comfy room and great location being close to facilities and town.
Location is good
Everything! Located near to town, this spacious, warm, super clean, quiet, one bedroom apartment, was ideal for us. The two separate outdoor seating areas created greater privacy for our ground floor room. The beds were comfortable, quality linens and a good choice of bed pillows. The large, open style shower was a surprise, but a welcomed change to the smaller showers at most of our holiday accommodations. The exceptionally friendly, helpful lady at reception, Lily is an asset to Punga Grove.
The inconsistent temperature in the small, under-counter refrigerator which we reported to the reception staff. The poorly drained, large, open shower caused much water to spread over most of the bathroom floor. Luckily, with a generous supply of bath towels, we were able to dry the floor to eliminate the slip hazard.
Large room with balcony, clean, quiet and walking distance to local restaurant
Nothing to dislike
Good value, great location ,warm room and staff excellent.
Mattress a bit lumpy ,needed turning?
Lovely welcome at reception, personal escort to room, opened door for me, room was warm
location
It is located just off the main road, which is a good also one side of the property is like a rain forest, so when it rains it looks beautiful. spacious room with all facilities.
The wifi is bad need to improve on that.
Awesome upgrade ... Thanks 🙏
will located, and very good size room
Large, very comfortable room. The gas fire was on when we arrived which added to the overall cosiness of the room. Lovely outlook from room. Very friendly staff. Loved our stay here.
Fantastic front desk welcome and helpful suggestions, real fire in a spacious; well equipped unit overlooking native bush, close to the village.
Absolutely nothing-don't change a thing.
Nice large room with gas fire making it cosy. Great spa bath and lovely private outdoor area
Beautiful room, comfortable bed and great shower.

Well appointed, good location, nice accommodation
No problems
Great location, friendly staff.
The bed was too soft and not very comfortable.
Prima verblijf (Standaard Kamer met 2 Bedden), grote kamer, precies zoals de foto's aangeven. Hor in raam was fijn. Basic en functioneel. Geen uitzicht (vanuit de standaard kamer), beetje op wat groen. Ligt rustig, op loopafstand van de restaurants.
Nice bed and well equipped kitchen
Not as clean as I would expect. Also some maintenance required on the wall finishes in the unit we stayed in.
The location is perfect, and the staff is wonderful and honest. We accidentally left a valuable wallet behind and needed to retrieve it. The managers and staff were incredibly kind and went above and beyond to help us find it and return it, even though we had already moved on to another town.
Great location. Beautiful room.
Lovely staff

Excellent location and very big rooms. Very clean as well. Staff was very friendly
There is nothing to dislike about this place
Cosy, clean and walking distance to centre of town. Bonus, the room was huge and the staff were very friendly.
This property is centrally located and walking distance to everything. The layout of the executive suite was awesome. We walked to our helicopter tour, restaurants and hiking up the street. This is a very quiet place to stay. We saw 2 kea's across the street in a tree ! I highly recommend the King Tiger for Chinese down the street.
Location
Tv sky never worked due to conditions, bathroom Was dated but low water pressure, looked at the sofa bed instead of single bed it was not sleep able
Location
Tiny kitchenette and a bit dated, shower head/water pressure not great
Lovely good sized room and big comfortable bed. Nice native bush outlook and was really quiet and close to restaurants.
La propreté et la taille du logement. La proximité du centre du village

We loved the location was so close to everything and the lovely staff provided us with umbrellas as it was bucketing down during our stay. We also loved the gas log fire. It was great to heat the room on the cold days..The room was spacious and very quiet during our stay. No Road noise whatsoever!!
Nothing to fault.
It was absolutely outstanding! 100 meters from anywhere. What a beautiful place. The fire place was awesome.
Didn’t stay long enough.
Room and loaction were excellent. Bed was a bit old but that is not unusual. The lady who met us at check in was terrific and showed us to our room.
As I said bed was a bit old and hard.
2 bedroom unit - very comfortable and quiet - included a small “conservatory” sitting area. Heating worked really well. Laundry on premises. Very convenient location - lots of eating options within easy stroll. Staff very friendly - always smiling.
Nothing
Great location within walking distance to the Franz Josef high street but still quiet, backing onto the forest. Room had loads of space with large living room/kitchen area. Friendly receptionist Lilly walked us to our rooms and gave us fresh milk for tea/coffee.
Lovely staff! Very clean room compy bed would highly recommend.

Only one comfy chair. Lack of sockets in suitable places. Noise from other guests
Schnelleres Wifi und Sky Programm. Sauberes Zimmer und gut eingerichtet.
Location was great and loved the spacious feel to the room, enhanced by the patio. Staff were very helpful and friendly.
